Muddy FUN!



Our lovely dogs have blessed us with some great holes in our backyard. (Do you sence some sarcasm? Maybe just a little.) It was today that the holes were seen with a different light.
While doing some yard spring cleaning with our leaky garden hose, a surprise appeared. It was a little boy's dream! Oh boy....mud & water = FUN!

Easter Bunny, Baby Animals, and Friends...OH MY!

..or should we say, "Oh FUN!"She was very eager to see the Easter Bunny. Where's the little guy you ask? Well, see that empty spot on the left side of the bunny. He was there until his fear overcame him and he did a self-induced face dive off of the bench. He LOVED watching the sheep and her twin babies best of all the other animals.

Silly Kids!

Just sharing some random, fun pics from the last few weeks!Loving the warm Spring weather.
She loved the juice from the popsicle. She watched everyone's juice form as the popsicle melted and begged to drink it.
He saw no use for the plastic wrapping on the popsicle. He dumped out his popsicle, threw the wrapper down, and enjoyed his frozen pop right out of his hand!
Me~"Get your shoes on. We need to leave for swim lessons."
She~"I'm ready!"
Me~"Where's my camera!"
Apparently it's easier to pick out the raisins from the cereal when it's dumped out in the middle of the living room floor.

"Oggies!" His favorite dog watching spot...the kitchen counter.

Love these kids! No wonder I'm always tired! :)

"Down the Hill"

We broke away from my family's St. Patty's day party to enjoy a walk "down the hill." This was the first walk of the season and the weather was perfect. We found this cool tree as we were walking back. We named it the bench tree.
We were on our way across the dam. The little guy LOVED looking at Papa's lake. He kept pointing and yelling, "Woah! Wa, Wa!"
So much fun can be had at a creek. He had a great time throwing rocks. He only hit Papa with a wild throw one time. Papa was not too pleased with that. :)
She enjoyed balancing her way across the little rock path Papa made for her. She didn't mind getting her feet a little wet.
On top of the water play, we saw a lizard, salamander, and a fuzzy caterpillar. I look forward to many, many more walks down the hill with my kiddos!

Picture Time!

Uncle Mat came and took some more milestone pics....
I can't believe she is 4 already. She is becoming such a little girl. Her little baby face is starting to look all like a big girl. At 4 years old, she LOVES rainbows, wearing dresses and anything "pretty."
She loved getting her pics taken..such a natural. She has come so far from her teary eyed baby pics. She's growing up too fast!



Then there's this little guy. He is also growing up too fast. He's now 18 months. At 18 months, he loves to say "No", wear snow boots, climb, and run around outside with the "oggies" (dogs).
He wasn't as sure about the pics but still had a good time with them...as long as bribed him with chocolate. :)

Potty Time


This evening, he pointed to his diaper and said, "poo." I responded with, "You want to go on the potty?" He shook his head yes and off we ran to get the potty seat. After a few minutes, we caught him trying to go and set him on the potty. Success! He finished on the potty! This picture shows his after celebration. Many high-fives were given by all.
My belief in potty training before two is starting to work out once more...so excited!
